Carried away by the surf
Walked my walk today under a grey sky. Applied Plato’s wisdom – and had it carried away by the surf.
In Plato’s philosophy, a circle has:
– a name i.e. circle
– an account i.e. set of points in a plane that are a given distance from a given point
(x – a)² + (y – b)² = r² where (a,b) is the middle point, (x,y) is a point on the circle, and r is the circle’s radius.
– an image i.e. sense perception of the circle (sight, taste, smell, touch, hearing, balance, proprioception)
from these three stem
– the knowledge i.e. the idea of a circle, the circle in one’s mind
having all four, a flash of inspiration provides :
– the Fifth. the Essence
